THE IMPORTANCE OF BOAT INSURANCE
Embarking on the open water is an exhilarating experience, flled with the promise of adventure and relaxation. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a weekend cruiser, protecting your vessel with proper insurance is not just a choice—it’s a necessity. Explore the reasons why every boat owner should prioritize boat insurance for a worry-free voyage.
Unpredictable waters
The open water can be unpredictable, with unexpected storms, collisions, or other potential accidents. Boat insurance can give you fnancial protection if there is damage to your vessel, providing coverage for repairs or replacement.
Damage and injury
Accidents on the water can result in damage to other boats, docks, or even injuries to passengers. Boat insurance offers liability coverage, which can pay for damages or injuries you’re liable for while boating, up to specifed limits, and lawsuit costs if you’re sued. This includes damage you cause to another watercraft or if someone on or near your boat is injured and you’re found to be legally responsible.
Theft and vandalism
Unfortunately, boat theft and vandalism are realities that boat owners face. Boat insurance has comprehensive and collision coverage that can protect you against events outside of your control, including theft and vandalism.
Incurred medical payments
Accidents on the water may lead to injuries for you or your passengers. Boat insurance offers a range of optional medical payments coverage limits, helping to cover medical expenses if you are in an accident or someone is hurt on your boat, regardless of fault.
Peace of mind for fnancing
If you fnanced the purchase of your boat, most lenders require insurance coverage to protect their investment. Having boat insurance not only fulflls these requirements but also gives you peace of mind knowing that your fnancial interests are safeguarded.
Navigational fexibility
Some water municipalities and marinas may require proof of insurance for docking or accessing certain areas. Boat insurance allows you the fexibility to explore different destinations without worrying about entry restrictions.
Emergency towing and assistance
Progressive boat insurance can include optional Sign & Glide® On-Water Towing coverage. If your boat is disabled or breaks down on the water, Sign & Glide® pays for on-water towing, jump starts, soft un-groundings, and fuel delivery.
Wreckage removal
If your boat sinks, Progressive boat insurance will cover the cost of removing your boat from the water (if removal is legally required).
Investing in boat insurance is not just about protecting a valuable asset; it’s about safeguarding the memories, experiences, and joy that come with your on-water adventures. Don’t let unforeseen circumstances disrupt your journey—navigate with confdence, knowing that Progressive boat insurance has you covered. Ensure a smooth and worry-free voyage, because when it comes to your boat, peace of mind is the ultimate luxury.

Bill Dance Signature Lakes O er Impactful Improvements to Tennessee’s Fishing Waters
Frdom
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ‘MEDIA FISHING INDUSTRY’
By David Haggard & Heather Lose
LBy Ben Martin, Editor in Chief
et me !rst say that I am in no way a historian, nor has this material been researched to ensure its accuracy. is is simply my observations and my humble opinion of how and when the sport of !shing gained its foothold toward becoming America’s favorite pastime. Certainly, !shing had been a popular sport prior to its initial media welcoming in the 1960’s, but in my opinion its explosive growth can be traced to three events that catapulted it into its current National appeal.
Event #1 — ABC’s Wide World of Sports carries a marlin shing episode. Curt Goudy and Jim McKay hosted ABC’s Wide World of Sports and its popularity with a wide range of sports enthusiasts was viewed as a major success. However, by the sixth episode it was apparent that the show needed fresh material to keep their audience engaged so they put their cameras on a 62 . Hatteras to capture footage of a marlin catch and the world opened to the beautiful and extreme nature of o shore !shing. Viewers said to themselves, “I want to do that!”
Representatives from Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, Tennessee Department of Tourist Development, and Tennessee State Parks celebrate the ribbon cutting of the Bill Dance Signature Lakes project at the Bassmaster Classic in Knoxville on March 25, along with the project’s namesake.

Event #2 — e Walker’s Cay Chronicles with Flip Pallot
Avid angler and creator of Hell’s Bay Ski s, Flip Pallot, developed a series of television shows called e Walker’s Cay Chronicles. In each episode Flip would narrate the pursuit of bill!shing in the Bahamas. His colorful description of “the shimmering waters” helped to romanticize the allure of sport!shing as something akin to an art form and, once again, people said to themselves, “I want to do that!”
Event #3 — Bill Dance begins lming his bass shing and tournament successes and becomes a national celebrity. And, one more time, people said to themselves, “I want to do that!”
e inertia that these three media events created caused an explosion in the !shing industry. e manufacturing and media industries jumped in to !ll the demand and meet the needs of a rapidly growing national pastime. Both entities have ever since been inextricably linked in a symbiotic relationship that has experienced continued rapid growth and a constantly growing demand for new products and new media outlets. And for that, Coastal Angler Magazine and e Angler Magazine salute ABC, Flip Pallot and Bill Dance, catalysts for making !shing America’s most popular pastime.
Check out some of the new products featured in this holiday edition of Coastal Angler Magazine and e Angler Magazine for gi ideas for your favorite angler.

PRSFF KAYAKING TOURNAMENT
La CIPS está estructurada en tres federaciones internacionales de pesca deportiva: Federación Internacional de Pesca Deportiva de Agua Dulce (FIPSEd), Federación Internacional de Pesca Deportiva con Mosca (FIPS-Mouche), Federación Internacional de Pesca Deportiva en el Mar (FIP-M) y miembro asociado de la Federación Internacional de Pesca Deportiva de Fundición (ICSF). La organización CIPS es global y actualmente está formada por 152 Federaciones Nacionales, 78 países repartidos en los 5 continentes y que representan aproximadamente 50 millones de miembros. Los objetivos de los órganos de gobierno de CIPS y FIPS son promover el deporte de la pesca a nivel mundial con el objetivo final de lograr la inclusión en los Juegos Olímpicos. Al igual que los Juegos Olímpicos Mundiales, estos eventos internacionales reúnen a los equipos clasificados de los países participantes para competir por la oportunidad de ganar medallas de oro para sus países en un escenario de Campeonato Panamericano y / o Mundial. PRSFF es una organización sin fines de lucro 501c3 que proporciona liderazgo y trabaja para brindar asistencia financiera para el apoyo logístico de los pescadores.
Campeonato Panamericano de Pesca en Kayak 2024, Lake Murray, Carolina del Sur, 26-29 de septiembre de 2024. ¡¡El Equipo de 9 Pescadores de Puerto Rico (8 hombres y 1 mujer) terminó en 3er lugar reclamando Medallas de Bronce!! Asistieron 10 países.
La Selección Puertorriqueña de Pesca en Kayak logró un histórico tercer lugar en la 3ra edición del Campeonato Panamericano de Pesca en Kayak, celebrado el 28 y 29 de septiembre en el lago Murray, Carolina del Sur. El equipo puertorriqueño se llevó a casa la medalla de bronce, mientras que Estados Unidos ganó la medalla de oro y México la de plata.
Este campeonato tuvo lugar poco después de que el huracán Helen azotara Carolina del Sur, lo que presentó un desafío adicional para todos los equipos participantes. La falta de electricidad y la tensión provocada por los embates del huracán no impidieron que el equipo puertorriqueño se mantuviera firme, no solo para competir, sino también para asistir a otras personas afectadas. A pesar de las difíciles circunstancias, lograron asegurar el tercer lugar en la competencia.
Los integrantes de la Selección Nacional Puertorriqueña de Kayak que participaron en el campeonato son:
PRSFF se estableció en enero de 2023 y fue reconocida oficialmente como el único representante de Puerto Rico a partir del 5 de mayo de 2023, ante la Confederación Internacional de Pesca Deportiva (CIPS), el organismo rector de la pesca deportiva mundial reconocido por Sport Accord.
Guillermo González (Capitán) ciudad natal: San Juan; Christopher Blanco de Trujillo Alto; Jeffrey Rodríguez de Trujillo Alto; Julio Crespo de Toa Baja; Carlos Rivera de Juncos; Sael López de Caguas; Yahaira Vargas de Aguada; Helbert Santana de Ponce; Jay Valentín de Hatillo; Juan Orta (suplente), ciudad natal: Santurce. Jeffrey, Julio y Helbert viajaron desde Puerto Rico para competir, todos los demás pescadores viajaron desde diferentes partes de los Estados Unidos.
Guillermo González, capitán de la selección nacional de pesca en kayak, comentó sobre el logro y los planes futuros del equipo: “Este triunfo es un testimonio de la dedicación y el esfuerzo de todo el equipo. A pesar de los desafíos que enfrentamos después del huracán, nos mantuvimos unidos y enfocados. Además, estamos trabajando arduamente para promover el
deporte de la pesca en kayak en Puerto Rico, especialmente entre los jóvenes. Nuestro objetivo es llevar esta disciplina a un nivel internacional, con la visión de que sea incluida como deporte olímpico en los Juegos de 2028”.
Este logro representa un hito en la historia de la pesca deportiva en Puerto Rico, ya que es la primera vez que el equipo nacional obtiene una medalla en competencias internacionales de este nivel. La Federación de Pesca Deportiva de Puerto Rico (PRSFF, por sus siglas en inglés) es inclusiva para hombres y mujeres y ha sido fundamental en el establecimiento y apoyo de los equipos nacionales, promoviendo la pesca y la conservación del medio ambiente, con un enfoque especial en la juventud.
A pesar de no tener patrocinadores oficiales, los pescadores puertorriqueños han demostrado su compromiso al cubrir personalmente los costos para representar a la Isla en eventos internacionales.

THE BEAN POLE: AMiniRodforBigAdventures
Who doesn’t love a good challenge? !at’s what draws so many anglers to light tackle for catching big sh. Mini rod shing takes it up a notch, turning the thrill of landing a monster into an even more rewarding experience. Mini-rod shing is all about having fun and enjoying the thrill of the catch!
At just 33 inches total, the Bean Pole isn’t just a mini in size, it’s the real deal in the world of shing. With a new edition released every year with cool colors and features, this little rod combines style, functionality, and fun all in one sleek package.
!e beauty of the Bean Pole is in its convenience. Slip it into your car, backpack, or even your kayak, and you’re ready to chase sh wherever the road takes you. Perfect for spontaneous road trips or shing in those hard-to-reach spots, this mini rod is your trusty sidekick for any adventure. While there are other “mini” rods on the market, ones over 36 inches fall more into the slow-pitch jigging category and are not considered real mini rods. !e Bean Pole, on the other hand, is a true mini rod at 33 inches. It’s designed for nimble casting and quick action, making it perfect for those who want a genuine mini experience without the extra length. Made from pure carbon ber, the Bean Pole is as lightweight as it is strong.
Don’t let its size fool you; this rod packs a punch! It’s designed to tackle everything from giant bull sharks to he y goliath groupers and, yes, it’s just as e ective at reeling in smaller species like snook and yellowtail snapper, giving it a ton of versatility!
e Bean Pole retails for $65 and is available at beansport shing.com.

TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY… FA LA LA LA LA
Christmas week, in my opinion, is the peak of bottom shing season, and there are plenty of reasons why. One of the biggest factors is the congregation of bait schools, like cigar minnows and sardines, which are some of the best baits available. Other reasons include the spawning aggregations and the cooler water temperatures. Speaking of bait, grouper (and American red snapper) can’t resist a few others if presented right: pin sh, sailor’s choice, and even small beeliners and other little snappers. !ese baits are so tempting because larger sh like grouper and snapper see them as egg-eaters. !ey devour them not only as a food source but also to protect their future o spring from these egg thieves. If you present these baits correctly—and avoid using bulky tackle— they’re simply too enticing to resist.
intelligent. Not all grouper species are equal in terms of smarts: red grouper are pretty naive, scamps are sharper, and gags are the brightest. !ey don’t become males, or black bellies, by being careless. Like other animals, sh learn to avoid obvious traps. !ey recognize mono, threeway swivels, heavy bank sinkers clanking on the bottom, and so on. It’s time to step up your game and target their instincts.
Personally, I use my weight as a “decoy,” making it resemble a crab or squid. !is setup involves a 4-foot piece of oro, a small 130-pound Spro swivel, and 50-pound braided line. I also color the rst 5 or 6 feet of high-vis (yellow) braid red with a Sharpie. (See my video on YouTube for a demo.) All these details matter for the overall presentation. !e
Let’s talk tackle. Forget mono lament altogether! I’ve spent a lot of time observing my tackle underwater, and mono is much more visible than uorocarbon. Compared to mono, oro is nearly invisible, which makes a di erence. Next, think carefully about the weight and terminal tackle you use to get bait to the bottom. While three-way rigs were a classic for years and will still catch younger (female) grouper, it’s a di erent story when they grow up. Once female grouper mature, they undergo a transformation and become males. When these gag grouper turn male, they also reach a size where we call them “black bellies.” !ese male grouper—especially black bellies—are
“Decoy Jig” is like psychological warfare; it taps into the sh’s hardwired drive to attack struggling or injured prey. !e Crab Decoy Jig, for example, looks like a crab holding on to a struggling snapper. To a wary grouper or big snapper, that’s an irresistible “Happy Meal.” I came up with the Crab Decoy Jig a er gutting thousands of grouper and realizing that their diet mostly consists of small red and reddish-brown crabs, tiny snappers, cigar minnows and sardines.
!e gag grouper and American red snapper populations are stronger than they’ve been in years—just ask any diver! But to catch them consistently, you need to improve your presentation. If you’re not catching gags and scamps with your old “chicken rig,” it doesn’t mean there aren’t any grouper around. !ey’re just not falling for poorly presented bait.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
